How on earth should White win this position? I see no way
to do this. Some reasons for my assumption:

1.)
If White at some time takes the h3-pawn with the rook,
the pawn ending is a draw.

2)
The only try would be to win Black's f6-pawn. But
this can't be done.

3)
But even in the case that due to some Zugzwang
White wins the f6-pawn, the position still looks
drawn.

Any counter arguments.
